Thanks to all of you. I appreciate everyone's input and please don't even worry about going out on a limb or stepping on my feet. I appreciate, want, and can sincerely understand constructive criticism.
Regarding my laundry and the soaking, I got this idea from Marc N.'s site, which I thought this forum was related to. Maybe I am wrong. I have decided that I am going to get me a hand held HEPA for my own personal use. I have just received $25.00 in Rewards from Amazon so I all put that towards one. I have used our home one on myself and clothes.
I know I have to chill out. This is a HUGE issue in any illness as far as getting better.I try to keep this in mind, knowing that stress is hard on immune system. Sometimes I try to think to myself that if it hasn't killed me as of yet, so as long as it doesn't do that I can put up with it until hopefully it will be more understood via research and a cure developed. Most likely one where the pills will be $30.00 or more a piece from Big Pharma.
I am going to heed the advice I am been given here regarding laundry. I can't keep up with what I am doing. I also will use the undies advice and all other advice. I realize that most of you have been dealing with this much longer than I and know so much more about what may work for some and what works for others. God knows there is no Derm nearby willing to even think of helping. I believe there are Derms that believe in it but because they work for an institution they have t keep their thoughts to themselves in fear of being ridiculed or worse, losing their job. My pain Dr. (D.O.) works for himself and is a firm believer in Morgellons. He is the most absolute wonderful Dr. I have ever known in my life.
This has been going on with my facial skin for about 5 years. Thickened patches of skin, hair all over my face, but it was lying flat under my skin. It wasn't until late last October (200
that I started feeling things on my face which eventually went to tickling feelings on my scalp and "hair" tickling my face. My hair on my head just kept getting worse. More and more of this stuff wrapped itself around my hair(s), and by my ears it was beginning to look like fuzz or matted hair you sometimes see on the back end of a dog.
Just to add a little humor : I have had pelvic prolapse surgery a few yeas back and the Dr. explained to me the 3 different types of material to use for the pelvic floor, with pig skin being the best. So as nature has it, we all want the best and I chose the pigskin. Maybe, just maybe, I am now literally growing pigtails.
We have mold issues around our home also. Basement and our deck right off the dining room. When it rains in the summer the deck is slimy. So slimy you can slip and fall. Derm took a chest x-ray but must have been OK since he didn't call back.
That's enough out of me for now. I never like to get posts too long (and this is there already). We all have meaningful limited time and I wouldn't expect anyone to read a book I could sit here and type out.
However, I will be back due to the all of you here.
Best wishes today,
posey
